The University of Memphis: In 2016, EDGE and the Sparks Bureau of Business and Economic Research (SBBER) at The University of Memphis partnered to develop a data warehouse and analysis program. The purpose of this endeavor is to provide data and analysis that describes the Memphis MSA’s economic condition and provides comparisons to peer metros throughout the country. The goal of thememphiseconomy.com is to provide a site that can be used as an economic barometer for local elected officials, community leaders, economic development professionals, community-based organizations, and the general public. The data is available to the public at www.thememphiseconomy.com.
